Drummer Finds Respect in Malaysia

Perico Drummer, Big Col, on a fact finding mission to Malaysia, has reported that drummer discrimination is not only markedly lower in Malaysia than in Australia, but quite possibly doesn't exist at all.

"Everyone here seems to respect drummers" said Col by phone yesterday from the luxury Nexus resort in Kota Kinabalu.

"I tell all the locals here, or at least the one's who serve me food and drink or clean my room, that I'm a drummer and they smile at me. This is in stark contrast to the reaction I get from others like tourists or even my wife who just look at me like I'm sub-human.
"In Malaysia you can be a drummer and be respected!"
